Mumbai, Apr 23 (PTI) Filmmaker Anurag Basu on Thursday confirmed that his upcoming film with actors Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela is progressing as planned and will be released in theatres later this year.
The untitled movie had been the subject of speculation regarding possible delays, but Basu put those rumours to rest, saying the shoot was going well.
"We are very much on schedule and the shoot is progressing well. It's a film we believe in deeply, and we are bringing it to audiences this year as intended," the director said in a statement.
The film marks the first on-screen pairing of Kartik and Sreeleela, who came onboard the project as a replacement for actor Triptii Dimri.
Music for the project is being composed by Pritam, a frequent Basu collaborator, and the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar of T-Series.
